I teach in the areas of clinical pharmacy practice and pharmacotherapeutics. My teaching goal is to optimise the learning environment of pharmacy students at the undergraduate, postgraduate, and practising levels. Students need a comprehensive set of knowledge, skills, and attitudes in order to meet the needs of patients and the increasing demands of healthcare systems. At all stages of pharmacy study, skills such as clinical problem solving, critical thinking, evidence-based practice, deferential diagnosis and triage, creating clinical care plans and clinical decision making, effective communication, adequate documentation, and life-long learning are paramount for the effective conduct of a clinician in general and a clinical pharmacist in particular.

Students do well when they can understand clearly what the academic expectations are and how what they learn maps out to the activities expected by the profession. In my previous role, I was responsible for the development and mapping of pharmacist professional activities to competency standards and to the learning outcomes that form the backbone of the pharmacy curricula.
